How important is this tradition in modern marriages and what song(s) would you chose? If you’re already married perhaps you chose an ill-advised number that you’d like to share with us?
I wonder what Tom chose and if he’s hot-stepping across a dance floor with his new wife now? Happy Nuptials Mr & Mrs Ewing!

When no-one else can understand meWhen everything I do is wrongYou give me hope and consolationYou give me strength to carry on
And you’re always there to lend a handIn everything I doThat’s the wonderThe wonder of you
And when you smile the world is brighterYou touch my hand and I’m a kingYour kiss to me is worth a fortuneYour love for me is everything
I’ll guess I’ll never know the reason whyYou love me like you doThat’s the wonderThe wonder of you

'Then You Can Tell Me Goodbye' by the Casinos would be my choice, I think. It's an old doowop number starting "Kiss me each morning for a million years..."
*forgets to breathe for a minute*
Martin, did you know that song is one of my mom's alltime favorite songs?!?! OMG, and we never even knew who performed it or what the name of the song was!! Er, or at least *I* didn't. And seeing as though I've promised Mom to make her an MP3 CD she can play on her computer whilst playing Solitaire or using Word, knowing this will really help me out! OMG, I remember listening to oldies radio with my parents as a wee little tyke and seeing my parents go all swoony over this song. Even to this day Mom will sometimes start singing this song.
Lara, your post is perfect for the MP3 CD project, too. The list of songs... OMG, all of these songs are songs that Mom loves! I used to love these songs too, once again when I was a wee little tyke listening to oldies radio with my parents.
*feels giddy and happy now*

Um, thanks Nick! Although your offer is very flattering I don't really want to get married. Not until I've met someone special anyway and I don't know whether you're special yet because I (1) have never seen your bottom (2) don't know what shoes you wear (3) have never heard you speak and (4) have no idea whether you would enjoy Lionel Richie with me until old age mercifully brings deafness.
